Only a few hours remain to bid on a wide array of eye-popping prizes that are a part of an unprecedented MLB.com auction that has been going on all week.

Major League Baseball's auction, a nation-wide venture designed to help wipe out cancer, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars so far. Bidding lasts until 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, with all proceeds going to Stand Up To Cancer, which MLB has supported since 2008 as a founding sponsor.

For example, the Meet and Greet with Angels star outfielder Mike Trout, with the winner granted four tickets to a game -- including a batting-practice visit and the opportunity to meet the AL Rookie of the Year -- has garnered 20 bids. The highest bid: $3,125.

A Meet and Greet with Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee, which includes four tickets to a game and dinner in the Phillies Executive Dining Room, has received 27 bids, with the highest being $1,481.

The Tampa Bay Rays Longoria, Price & Maddon Experience -- where the winner receives four tickets, pregame field passes to a mutually agreed upon home or road game, personalized jersey and the opportunity to meet Evan Longoria, David Price and manager Joe Maddon pregame -- has received 16 bids, with the highest coming in at $1,275.

There has never been an auction quite like MLB.com/SU2CAuction, and that is mainly the result of club PR directors who got together on a mission that is very personal in nature. Many of them work with club personnel who have been diagnosed with cancer, and this became a unified effort to use their unique access and list at least 70 items that almost make it hard to choose.
